Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Gov. of Ohio John Kasich addressed a CNN town hall in Washington D.C. on Tuesday night amid a flurry of scandals roiling the Trump administration. "I think this is a sad day," said Sanders. "And it's a sad period." Kasich agreed: "We find ourselves in a serious situation today. The things that have swirled around this White House are the reasons that caused me not to ... support [Trump] both in the primary and going into that Republican convention." On Tuesday, the The New York Times published a bombshell report that Trump may have told former FBI director James Comey to drop the bureau's investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with Russia. The memo was supposedly written by Comey himself shortly after meeting Trump, one day after Flynn's firing. "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go," Trump told Comey, according to the...

"I hope you can let this go," Comey wrote, quoting Trump in the document, which CNN has not viewed but which was described by the sources.

Taken at face value, the disclosures about the Comey memo appear to provide the clearest sign yet that Trump tried to pressure the FBI and the Justice Department over the Russia investigation. Comey documented 'everything he could remember' after Trump conversations The stunning new developments triggered immediate claims...

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has claimed that referee Michael Oliver, saved his team from having a “total disaster” of a season. Mourinho admits his squad would not have been able to cope if they had a longer run in the FA Cup. United were dumped out of the competition, after a 1-0 loss at Chelsea, a game that saw Ander Herrera sent off. Mourinho said: “I repeat the same – thank you Michael Oliver. Because we were out in the FA Cup. Because if we go to the FA Cup semi-finals it would be a total disaster. “I don’t know when we would be playing that game. I never, ever have had a situation like this and on top of that the accumulation of big injuries, not small, not the injuries that you say ‘ok, hamstring, two weeks’. “No. It’s surgery, boom, boom. It’s surgery – one knee, another knee. Another foot. Just big surgeries. So fewer players and fewer players and fewer players. It’s very difficult,...

Governor Ayodele Fayose has asked the people of Ekiti State to ask his predecessor, Dr Kayode Fayemi what he has done with his position as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the last one and half years. Fayose insisted that Fayemi, who is the Minister Mines and Steel Development, had not impacted positively in the State, particularly in helping to tap the huge mineral potentials of the State as a man superintending over the Ministry.

For over a year Elina Berglund nuclear physicist has been fighting authorities and malicious headlines. Now her app will be the first in the world to be approved as a contraceptive. “It feels incredibly exciting that there is now an approved alternative to conventional pregnancy prevention methods, and that it’s possible to replace medication with technology,” says a more than satisfied Elina Berglund, who founded Natural Cycles together with her husband Raoul Scherwizl. The approval comes from the German inspection and certification organization Tüv Süd, which has classified the app in the medicinal category of IIb. That means Natural Cycles officially offers a new, clinically tested alternative to birth control methods such as contraceptive pills, contraceptive implants and condoms. 2015 was a turbulent year for the founding couple. The difficulties peaked November 25 when the ruling of the Swedish Medicinal Products Agency reached their inbox. It demand...
